assisted by T. B, Leek, young business

some ground for congratulatiOn. He

bandaged, aud that In eating he could
not lift 1t. His suspicion was not
aroused until later In the day, he saw
the same fellow logged out In an entire

that this fellow Is the party who
was chased by the Cleveland detectives
to Hartvllle Saturday morning. At that
station the fellow alighted frcm the

he had q new suit Of clothes 1t Is evi

on the train and 1t is supposed that he
left 1t just outside the depot. About
11:30 p. m. he was seen In Howard's
restaurant opposite the depot and ar
rested. Smith refused to give the officer
any account of his past or present

his left arm bound up as though 1t had
